Disk light usually is on when those freezes occur here as well. But then... during most crashes I experienced (freezes, panics etc) the disk light seems to be on initially so I did so far not regard that as something special. btw, thanks all who replied so far, tho no solution yet, we will get there or at least get a clear picture when matching all those experiences.
